Question

Why doesn't boric acid act as a proton donor??

Answer 1

Answer:

But in case of B(OH)3 , boric acid instead of donating proton it accepts electrons of OH- which produces due to ionisation of water into H + and OH- hence we can say it act as a acid and proton is remove from water instead of boric acid.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Although Boric acid contains 3 OH groups yet it can act as monobasic acid rather than tribasic acid. This is because boric acid does not act as proton donor rather it accepts a pair of electrons from OH- ions. It does not dissociate to produce ions rather forms metaborate ion and in turn release ions.
